Neocolonial 1

Heavy-handed, inappropriate influence by a stronger country over another country, that's neocolonialism. Some Africans resist this unwanted "influence."



Obianuju Ekeocha is one of these. "[As] the scientist and author of Target Africa, her goal has become to expose what she views as unwanted and even perilous efforts by Western charities and governments. . .  "I’ve learned about a horrible dynamic between African and Western nations. One could best describe that relationship as neocolonialism.”

She says that hundreds of millions of dollars are being spent by organizations like the Gates Foundation to control population in Africa.

Born in Nigeria and educated there, she now lives in Europe but speaks as an African woman who opposes Western elite attempts to limit African births.

"What I learned from my own upbringing and community is that human life is precious from the beginning. We have names like Ndubisi, which translates as “human life is first" . . the first thing we hold on to is life. As long as you have life, there is hope."
